I wouldn't have contemplated cataract surgery had my optician not said that I was borderline on being allowed to drive. The thought of eye surgery was too frightening to consider. Well.....bit of a doddle really! I had a sedative both times as my head shakes at the dentists never mind when ones eyes are being approached by a man with a scalpel. It was all over in minutes. The staff are so kind and reassuring. When I removed the eye guard the next day, I was so astounded at the clarity, colour and detail of what I could see that I burst into tears - and that was only eye number one. It's life changing - just do it!(However -be warned - be prepared to see wrinkles you never knew you had, and dust and dirt around the house when you always thought you were a domestic goddess!)
